How many players in major league baseball only have one hand?

There were two noteworthy players who dealt with such a physical challenge. Pete Gray, who lost his right arm in a childhood accident, played for the St. Louis Browns in 1945 when there was a shortage in manpower because of World War II. Jim Abbott, who was born without a right hand, was a pitcher for the California Angels, the New York Yankees, the Chicago White Sox and the Milwaukee Brewers from 1989 to 1999. He compiled an 87-108 won-loss record with an earned run average of 4.25. On September 4, 1993, Abbott threw a no-hit, no-run game as the Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians 4-0.

A couple of old timers that I know of are Luther Taylor, a pitcher for the New York Giants in the early 1900s and William Hoy, an outfielder for several teams in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Both Hoy and Taylor were deaf.


Can a pitcher switch from throwing right handed to left handed during a single at bat?

A pitcher can be changed during an at bat as long as that pitcher has pitched a full at bat to at least one batter. A pitcher may not be brought into a game and then taken out before pitching one full at bat unless he suffers an injury which the umpires deem serious enough to require off field attention.
